Russia and Turkey might finally come in an agreement in Libya

 Libya has been the centre of proxy wars for a long time now and Russia and Turkey are the key players who are playing around with the governance of the crisis struck country. But now as the latest development suggests, Turkey has nearly agreed with Russia on a ceasefire in Libya.

The latest development has been confirmed by the foreign minister of Turkey, Mevlut Cavusoglu,  in an interview with CNN Turk after the meeting in Ankara. Both the nations have been having a series of talks with each other regarding the matters of Syria and Libya and development in these unfortunate countries.

If everything works out fine then this deal will be beneficial for Libya after years of proxy wars. Both the countries have shown support to two extreme factions in Libya where Moscow has been supporting the commander of Libyan National Army, Khalifa Haftar while Turkey supports the globally recognised Government of National Accord (GNA).

Libya has been made into a battlefield for proxy wars represented by mercenaries who are fighting for something they don't even know about as they have been taken advantage of their poverty and brought into Libya. But if the deal is fixed then it will be good news for not only these mercenaries but Libyan nationals who are tortured due to escalating tensions every other hour.

There was a demand to lift hostility over the oil facilities in Libya and GNA declared a ceasefire over it, a move that was bluntly dismissed by Haftar even though Aguila Saleh, one of the leaders of the rival parliament, backed GNA on this. Earlier this year, the situation turned turbulent when nearly one million people were displaced due to continuous violence in the state and that resulted in Russia and Turkey confronting each other on halting the blockade on oil transportation.

Considering the continuous breach of arms embargo in the region, the United Nations called out the countries backing these forces and blamed the crisis on them. The accused countries included the United Arab Emirates and Jordan, who support Russia while Qatar and Turkey were on the other end. Turkey and Qatar have also been notorious for bringing in mercenaries from Somalia and Sudan, crisis struck countries, and fighting a war on behalf of them.
